COLLISIONS AT SEA.

Collision will and must remain the great

be almost always present upon the border.

great ship to be sunk was shown in the case
Of the Oregon. A blow from a pygmy
schooner not more than one-tenth her size,

A Bloody and Brutal Prize Fight Under
Marquis of Queensbury Rules.
ST. LOUIS, April ga long and bloody
fight to the finish with kid gloves took
place this afternoon near a small railroad
station about fifty miles North of this city.
The mill was between Ed. Kelly, son of the
formerly famous Tom Kelly OF this city,
and Dan DAILY, a slugger OF local note and
was for $3.50 a side, and gate money,
which amounted tie about $500, the winner
to take everything. In round two DAILY
got the first block with an upper cut on
Kelly's mouth. The next three rounds
DAILY forced the fighting and gave Kelly
heavy blows on the body and
face. In round six Kelly got in
hard blows on Days neck.
In the eighth round Daily bled from the
ears. Each gave the other heavy, blows on
the face and neck. In round eleven fight
ing vas heavy and fierce, and clinch after
clinch caused great excitement in the ring
and among the audience. The men
pounded each other terribly, and blood
flowed freely from the noses and mouths of
both. But rounds twelve to fourteen were

face and on the body, and doing a good
deal OF hard fighting. So it continued to
the forty-ninth round.
Round 5O-The fight was now nothing
but plain brutality, Kelly being simply a
chopping block. Rounds 81, 50 and 90
were the same monotonous thing, and in
fact all that followed. At the end of the
SD round Kelly agreed to take 500 and
let DAILY have the fight and stake money
and receipts, and the fight ended. The
battle was the longest OF record under the
Marquis OF Queensbury rules and one OF
the most brutal ever seen. Kelly is terri

Time Of fight three hours and fifty eieht
minutes. The mill was witnessed by about
sixty OF the sporting fraternity and their

An exchange says: "The explosion ofgun
powder and dynamite is supposed to be
instantaneous, but it is not quite so. If a
lot of dynamite was housed in a contin-
uous train for four miles it would take q
second for it all to explode. Even this is
scarcely appreciaable length of time; but if
a continuous train of dynamite were peur
ed over the ground between San Francisco
and New York City, it would take a quarter
OF a n hour for the explosion to reach from
one point to the other. A man, therefore,
might sit or the end of the train OF nowder
in New York City and be in perfect safety
for fifteen minutes after the San Francisco
end of the train had begun to explode"
This may be true, but the man who occu-
pied a resting place On the New York end
OF the train would find it an unhealthy
locality should he overstay his time d
second or two.

The better elements of the Republican
party are flocking by the thousands to the
Democratic fold. They are tired and dis
gusted with the %swindling and corruption
of the leeches that have dragged down the
grand old party from it's once proud posi-
ton to a close corporation of office-seekers
and ~pap-suckers whom the people in their
%virtuous indignation kicked out of power
a little over two years ago. They find room
and common political fellowship with the
Democrotic party of to-day. There are
many Republicans in Butte who are follow
ing in the footsteps OF their brethren in the
East and are taking their places in the
ranks of the Democratic hosts. Come right
gentlemen. You will be welcomed in
the party of purity and progress.

Of roomers. The fire was discovered by
Willis, who Immediately alarmed tho in

ladders up to the various stories of the
building, while the policemen broke in the
doors to rescue the inmates. Some fell
and had to be dragged out. VIM. Eberman

from a window before help could reach
them. The Greek was caught by a man on

although his skull was fractured. After the
fire was got under control the bodies of

The passage of the Ecclesiastical bill in
the lower House of the Prussian Diet com
pletes, so far as Prussia proper is con-
cerned, the victory of Prince Bismarck's
policy of the Vatican alliance. His decla.
ration that peace with the church is de-
sirable, both for internal and external rea-
sons" is a complete reversal Of his policy
of the days of the Falk laws. The result
will add to his reputation as a statesman
who lives up to the spirit as well as the let
ter of his pledges.

DORSHEIMER'S STATEMENT.

Col. Dorsheimer's statement of his con.
v~ersation with President Cleveland in re.
gard to the second term OF the latter will
be accepted as the true version of the whole
matter. As The MINER suspected and in.
timated the vivid Imagination OF a new
paper correspondent gave the affair a col
oring which the facts did not justify.
Washington penny.a-liners are not noted
for c~ultivating the truth when a sensation
may be created by deviating from it. The
Missouri Republican man is no exception
to the rule. He incidentally learned that
= conversation touching the second term of
Mr.. Cleveland had occurred between the
latter and some one. The correspondent
pointed to Senator Vest without naming
him. With this slight frame work for his
dispatch he let loose his Imagination and
filled in or supplied the missing links in
true Bohemian style. The result was a
telegram that startled the whole country.
The facts OF the case as given by Colonel
DOrsheimer are these: Last January he
had q conversation with the President con.
corning the latter's second term. No letter
had been prepared by the President upon
the subject and none had been shown to
Colonel Dorsheimer. The conversation, it
would appear, was one which neither re-
sardsd as very serious for it was dropped
where it commenced and probably neither
thought Of it again. It was one of those
talks" in which friends will frequently in
dulge and forget on the morrow. DORIS
heimer may have carelessly mentioned it
afterwards and as nothing OF that kind can
escape the wide open ears OF an inquisitive
reporter it was seized upon as a precious
morsel and given to the world dressed after
. fashion that would make old Baron
Munchausen turn over in his grave and
rattle his bones in an ecstacy OF delight.
The proprietors of the staid old Missouri
Republican will doubtless give their Wash
iugton correspondent a leather medal as a
reward for his diligence and ~veracity.

Gladstone puts his faith in the justice of
the people when their common sense is in
formed by full discussion. He does not de-
sire a general election until the English
mind becomes as thoroughly informed on
the Irish question as the Scotch and Irish.
He declares that whenever the appeal to
the people comes in the natural course of
events the policy of coercion will be repu-
dated. In the language OF the West, "Glad-
stones head is level" on that proposition.
